I highly recommend zsh. It has superb auto completion facilities. In particular, I like the following features in it. 1) When doing tab completion, zsh can list files in the order they were created/modified. Currently this is not possible in bash. 2) Unlike tcsh, zsh shell scripting supports functions, which I extensively use. FWIW bash supports functions as well. 3) The tab completion entries are cleared after successful tab completion. 4) Ability to remove old duplicates from the history file. My wiki page http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Why_notes#Why_zsh contains more details on this. But since wiki pages can change/evolve over time, I am summarizing the contents here. hope that helps raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
